What's DiscoverEU?

This regular EU-run competition gives young people the chance to win a free travel pass to explore Europe’s wonders.
If you are selected, you’ll have the freedom to travel anywhere in Europe for as little as 1 day or up to a full 30 days between 1 March 2025 and 31 May 2026.

But that’s not all — you will also score a European Youth Card, unlocking exclusive deals on cultural experiences, learning activities, sports, local transport, accommodation, food, and much more.

Am I eligible?

If you are 18 now, or about to turn 18 before 1 January 2025, and you live in eligible countries, then yes!

Eligible countries are all EU countries and their overseas territories, and a number of other countries.

You’ll find the full country list on the application page.

Great, I want one!

Applications open on the European Youth Portal, running from midday (CEST) 2 October 2024 to midday (CEST) on 16 October 2024.

Don’t forget to check the eligibility criteria

Thinking about travelling with friends?

Absolutely! Whether you prefer to go solo or bring up to four friends along for the adventure, it is entirely up to you, provided they also meet the eligibility criteria.

And if you have a disability or health condition that might make travel difficult, don’t worry. You’ll receive the assistance and support you need to ensure you can fully enjoy the DiscoverEU experience.

What do others say about it?

Connect with DiscoverEU Ambassadors through the DiscoverEU Facebook group. It is the perfect place to meet fellow travellers, swap travel tips, share your upcoming adventures, organise meet-ups, and get inspired by the experiences of others.
Your next great adventure could start with just one conversation!

Good luck and may your journey across Europe begin!
